THINGS NOT TO DO AT MAGIC KINGDOM
- Lunch between 12:30-2:30 pm at Pecos Bill's. The seating is HORRIBLE (too many tables, and not enough walking space especially if you have a stroller or a wheelchair), and it fills up FAST because its part of the Disney Dining Plan. By 3:00 the lunchtime and parade crowd rush has died down enough that you can enjoy your meal a bit better.
- The Golden Carousel. Unless you have small children, its not worth it.
- The Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. I rode it once back when it first opened (for the sake of "family togetherness", and my sister was a major Pooh nut), and shook my fist the entire time. Still bitter over losing Mr. Toad.
Look I can take Small World just fine. Peter Pan? No problem. But when you put me on an inferior ride that used to be a GREAT attraction like Mr. Toad, I'm going to get angry.
And...my sister hated it too.
- Stitch's Great Escape. It wouldnt have been so bad had they not scrapped the XS-Tech storyline altogether. I could have handled just Stitch popping up in the room instead of the giant dragon alien, to make things more kid friendly. The main show itself doesn't bother me that much. What I hate is that they evicted Chairman Clench and his crew, then they totally mishandled the pre-show, which was always my favorite part. They turned Tim Curry's snarky salesman SIR into an inept, overweight security guard voiced by Richard Kind, and reduced Skippy (Frank Welker) to a meaningless cameo. (hell, even Captain Rex oer at SW:TAC has a bigger pre-show role than Skippy, and he's in a junk heap)
- Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor. Not that the show itself is low quality....its just way too kiddie-fied. Plus, Monsters Inc. doesn't exactly belong in Tomorrowland. Would have been better at the Pixar Place area of the Studios.
I still miss the Timekeeper too.
- Tomorrowland Indy Speedway. Last time I rode this one I was 16 and waiting for my learner's permit. Skipped it ever since.
